There's only one thing that's worse than someone who can't exercise their attention span beyond a 30 second shot clock and thats a GIANTS FAN.

I sure hope they keep this up as they grow older, Mexico could sure use that type of unifying moment(s). They're way overdue.

Yeah....that's 100K +....I believe. The Rose Bowl could apply for Mexican statehood.

Well you know there won't be too many Americans in the Rose Bowl watching the soccer match. Soccer just isn't an American sport.
Personally I don't follow soccer too much, but I'd go to hear all the foreigners boo the American National Anthem like the last time Mexico vs the US
and the crown was overwhelmingly pro-Mexico.( a lot of it was a protest vote against the US anti-immigration policy and the way Mexican immigration is
used as a wedge issue)
I wonder if Landon Donovan the wispy soccer star from Redlands, Ca will play? Donovan is real good, but Mexicans hate him with a passion. Donovan
like to get the Mexican crowd going with disrespectful antics including once peeing in a Mexican stadium instead of using a bathroom! Donovan speaks
Spanish and sometimes insults Mexico in their own language.
The other USA soccer star that sometimes plays for the USA national team is Clint Dempsey. He is a real crybaby when the USA loses. It's not a pretty
sight seeing a grown man crying over a soccer lost. But I'm not sure who is playing today, but hopefully I see the game on TV.
I'm going with Mexico and hear Mexico is the betting favorite.

I think you are confusing citizens of the USA with people who consider themselves Americans.
Most Mexicans I know consider themselves Americans.
The Americas are a couple of big continents. |
Jo is not confused, he's just a bitter US welfare QUEEN. I
don't know where he's going with this considering his having been rejected by La Raza. Just another loser stranded in left field mooching off people
who work for a living.

Soulpatch it doesn't sound like you know too many Mexican? Mexicans consider themselves Americans? Yeah right.
I take it you're talking the "Americas" including Canada, USA, and Mexico? Or are you talking South America too? I don't know anybody in those other
countries that consider themselves American unless they are from America.
Soulpatch you need to be clear who exactly you are taking about when talking about Mexicans.
Now the people who go to the soccer games are predominately foreigners who love soccer in their home country. The Mexicans who go to soccer games are
probably also Mexican nationals, and it's doubtful many Mexican-American go in high numbers because they have already been Americanized and rather
watch Football, basketball, or baseball, but I'm sure Mexican-Americans will be there too, but they would mostly be first and second generation who
still love the motherland of Mexico and will be cheering Mexico, and probably booing the USA along with the national anthem.
Here is something written about a soccer match between the USA and Mexico many years ago. I'm sure they are exaggerating, but there were a few
Americans there too, and I don't recall any of them protesting the booing of the National Anthem until they got home:
_____________________________
On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though
most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the
U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match.
The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."

For lack of a fence.
I am a staunch supporter of human rights violations when it comes to keeping our country.
Whatever it takes.
Your crap up there, Joe, makes me want to vomit.

Not making any excuses for those hoodlums but that really is not considered so extraordinary on the international soccer scene, especially where the
two teams are big rivals. I have been to many such events in different parts of South America and Indonesia. For whatever reason, this seems to be
accepted behavior, if not part of the flair for such high level sporting events. I have witnessed fans hurl a wide variety of projectiles at the
opposing team and referees (when they didn't like the call); everything from mandarin oranges loaded with M-80's to ball bearings shot from
slingshots. Similar stories abound as well across Europe at soccer events.
Something about the tension leading up to the game seems to bring out the worst in a certain fringe element. Of course some would probably mention NBA
and NHL post championship riots as well as the recent beating of the Giants fan at Dodger stadium to make the point that it isn't limited to just
soccer (futbol).
Lots of pent up anger out there today and it seems like some are just looking for any excuse to blow off some steam.
It is really tragic when somebody gets hurt...

You have a sick idea of "sport." Probably just about everything else as well.
What did you trade your nationalistic pride for? Some Mexican food?

I looked for tv coverage. It's only on a Spanish language channel here. I think I'll pass on watching it.
